Summary
She slowly, slowly shifts her head so she can look down, and sees Jax hugging her as tightly as they possibly can.
“...Jax…?” Ribbit slurs. They don’t respond or acknowledge Ribbit’s words other than hugging her harder.
It takes her a second to realise that Jax is shaking. No, she’s crying. Sobbing. At first, Ribbit assumes it’s because they’re hugging her, and she knows they don’t normally take well to hugs. But then, wait, why are they hugging her? They don’t normally let anyone hug them, not even Ribbit, let alone initiate a hug so why would -
Ribbit is hit by an amalgamation of incoherent memories and words and suddenly realises her arm feels like static. She looks down to see half her body is black. No eyes, no glitchiness, no textures, it’s just black, like someone deleted the texture pack on her body.
She vaguely remembers Jax being there, wherever she was. It was dark… and inky… and glitchy…
Oh, right. She abstracted.
Jax saves Ribbit from abstraction. But the circus has changed, the people have changed, and Jax has changed. Ribbit has a lot to adjust to.
(Healing isn't linear, and Ribbit and Jax learn that in the worst way possible.)
